Non-salary income is hard to come by. Or at least, its a pain in the arse. I've been subbing for awhile now at a Jr. High that is pretty close to my house. Its a short drive, but a drive, and I have to get up early, and I have to deal with kids, and I have to make a lunch... anyway, there is a whole laundry list of reasons why its a waste of time and I don't like it. Its not that its hard, its just that its a bunch of work for almost no money. It nets $81 a day in pay. Thats before I pay for gas, and the food, and the lost productivity on other projects. This is not to mention that awful commute it makes up to my salary job in La Jolla where I have to drive because there is barely enough time to get from School A to School B. Is it worth the gas and the trip for $81? I'm not sure. It might be, but we'll have to see.
At the end of the month I have to start thinking about summer work. Its going to be tricky (tricker I guess) because of possible contract extensions that will take me into June before I am free of my current job. So, I have to find work that will let me start after this contract extension. Finding work is hard enough, but now I have all these problems with timing. I can't very well quit this other position. Its building my resume, my experience, my connections and references, and its in my field. But, in the best case scenario, it don't pay the rent from June till October. Neither does the aforementioned $81 a day job. Your less than humble hero needs to formulate a plan this month.
Did I mention I've also gotten the bug for a big HD TV since Dad bought one? *Sigh, I'm not frugal at all.
Updates to follow on net worth as soon as I pay our bills.
